Geocache Description:


Please note the published co-ordinates are a guide only to the area where the container has been placed, however they are the location of our previous hide of a similar name, will  provide an ideal parking place for your vehicle and a view of the recent additions to this very popular children's playground

Our original cache GCPBG6 "Play Money"s theme was based on the Australian currency change to the decimal system and the subsequent demise of the two lowest ranked cent coins as their purchasing powers reduced dramatically in a relatively short period of time, they literally became, play money! We also learnt from experience that these venues may be great places for geo families with young children to search in, but are very unsuitable for many other searchers, such as ourselves, to be seen loitering suspiciously in, hence its ultimate demise!

 

To locate GZ it is now necessary to resolve the following word puzzle, and while there may be a number of ways to do this, we have added a keyword, where the letters when allocated their hierarchical numerical values within the word, will help to reveal the rearrangement and sequence required of these groups to spell out our containers location. The keyword you seek has a very important association with geocaching, without which our particular form of this game may not exist.

The layout of the puzzle columns and rows give a significant clue as to the key words composition!

Our 300ml container, which holds the usual logbook, a small FTF gift, pencil, and some trinkets for exchange if required, is hidden in a typical geo manner but camo'ed in an attempt to deter muggle intervention, is located near a very busy pedestrian & cycling track which is also a popular geo trail with now more than 20 caches accessible from it, and many more in close proximity over its 16+ kms length from Epsom to Kangaroo Flat, where it connects with the various walking and cycling  tracks around Crusoe and No 7 Reservoirs.

Please take the usual precautions when searching in a typical Australian suburban environment and to avoid a confrontation with the bees that took residence after we placed the container please concentrate your search on the pathway side of the tree where the container is located, (quite by accident initially), away from their access points.

Remember they are native and have more right to this place than either you or ourselves so caution must prevail!

Good luck.
